Dress Down This Summer with the 9 Best T-Shirt Dresses! (2021)

Although labeled as nightshirt, don’t be led astray by our first T shirt dress option from Hanes. 

Made entirely with super soft cotton, this especially oversized T shirt dress works equally well whether you’re going to bed or casually meeting a friend on a chill Sunday afternoon, for example! 

At the risk of exposing too much New York bias, this cotton T shirt dress from Everlane is the perfect option for chill Brooklyn hipster vibes.

Inspired by vintage (see, I told you!) t-shirts, this cotton Everlane T-shirt dress includes a relaxed fit, set-in sleeves,  and a convenient front chest pocket. 

I’ve written a feature on Toad&Co in which I highlight how much I love this brand’s mission to create clothing that transitions seamlessly form the pristine outdoors to the bustling social scene. 

This black T shirt dress from Toad&Co perfectly achieves that brand vision thanks to its comfortable cotton fabric, moisture-wicking treatment, and inclusion of at least 20% recycled content during manufacturing!

If you’re surprised to see Canadian outfitters Arc’teryx making T shirt dresses, I was too!

The highly respected outerwear brand has ventured into urban wear over the past few seasons, yielding us this adorable t-shirt dress with a relaxed fit, quick-drying fabric, and discreetly located zippered pockets!

Roomy, flowing, casual, relaxed. 

It’s as if T shirt dresses were intentionally designed for the bigger beauties among us! 

My favorite plus size T shirt dress comes from Universal Standard and is highlighted by a flattering crew neckline, cute waist bow, and incredibly supple fabric made from a blend of modal and Peruvian cotton! 

After checking out some lovely yet casual T shirt dresses, let’s take a look at our first option that’s admittedly more dress than T-shirt. 

Coming from Michael Kors and made entirely with sleek polyester, this maxi T shirt dress also offers a short-sleeve crew neck, straight hemline, and subtle striped pattern!

If you’re looking for a longer, spunkier option, check out this midi T shirt dress from Daily Ritual. 

The relaxed fit and high crewneck complement the effortless vibe of this T shirt dress, while the incredibly delicate viscose fabric (a semi-synthetic textile made from natural cellulose sources) creates a durable, comfortable feel! 

Hey, if you’ve made it this far, odds are you like what you see from T shirt dresses…

…which is all the more reason to make sure you have a suitable T shirt dress when the weather gets cooler. 

The PopYoung T shirt dress is a solid cold weather option and includes a smooth rayon fabric to go along with a relaxed (but not loose!) fit!

Tie dye has made one of the more unexpected fashion comebacks in recent memory, so why not kill two birds with one dress and pair this trend with the growing T shirt dress craze? 

What I love most about this tie dye T shirt dress from Romwe is its durable polyester, stretchy fabric, and relatively subdued (read: not blinding) tie dye patterning!
